Udemy – Advanced 3D Logo Animation in Autodesk Maya

Requirements

• Prior experience with Autodesk Maya will be helpful

We will start with a flat 2D logo and make it into an appealing 3D logo animation.

This course is intended for intermediate to advanced users. Hopefully, you’re somewhat familiar with Maya before taking this course, maybe you’ve taken one of my other beginner Maya courses, or if you’re a quick learner you can try and jump right in but you may have to watch the course on 1x speed and rewatch certain sections to be able to follow along.

All the project files are included for you to download and follow along.

We will learn :

• Transform a 2D vector image into a 3D shape
• Voxelize the logo
• Animate these voxels with precise control
• Learn how procedural animation will allow us to make quick changes on complicated animations
• Animate objects along a path
• Add trails to objects
• Create a dynamic simulation
• Control the simulation
• Add and control color change
• Light and render the scene

I look forward to seeing you in class!

Who this course is for :

• Motion graphics artists who want to learn 3D
• Beginning Maya students who want to learn more advanced tools

What you’ll learn

• Convert 2D images to 3D logos
• Voxelize 3D models
• Advanced motion graphics tools in Autodesk Maya called MASH
• Dynamic simulations with MASH and Bullet physics
• Shaders, Lighting, and Rendering
